State worker Zing!s

OK, time for progressives, liberals, intellectuals, elitists, democratic socialists, environmentalists, and feminists to recognize the deplorables have won, Trump is their president and the prize for all of us is the GOP agenda,

Two more puppets of Big Oil won tonight. I guess Oil profits are more important than clean water.

Well, at least my grass looks great!

If teachers make the difference legislators think, just move them from Deerlake and Chiles to Nims and Rickards. That's less expensive than setting up new charter schools and it won't work either.

Can we require charter schools to give us our money back when they fail?

I vote Drew Mendoza for best hair award. Best beard? Of course Quincy Nieporte.

The problem with the healthcare system in this country isn't ACA. The greatest problem is insurance companies; and to a lesser extent, some Republicans contribute to the problem by sabotaging ACA.

Philando Castille was murdered in cold blood. Video documents this fact. And yet the police officer who killed this law abiding gun carrying citizen was acquitted. The NRA is oddly silent. Oh, wait. Philando Castille was a black man.

Trump's approval rating at 36%, Obama's at 60% when he left office. Trump says 36 is bigger than 60...

When is one of the major airlines going to say "Come fly with us, the airline of the sardines."

Cuba trip showed me a country with busted sidewalks, elevators dated with no inspections, restaurants with chickens and cats roaming , and no lawyers crying foul.

I know a excellent way to get Trump in line. Try supporting him for a change and quit taking your news from CNN.

Just back from a 10 day trip to Cuba. One trip to a Government dominated country makes you glad to live in a country where the people are more important than the Government.

Those Chevy Truck commercials have got to be some of the most boring ads ever

Crime fighters trump branding committees.

What happened to Chris who lived under the I-10 bridge at Mahan Drive? Did he disappear?

FSU HAD THE WORST LOOKING UNIFORMS OF ALL THE TEAMS DIRTY LOOKING GRAY

It is awesome that Leon County has been designated as the Art Buyer Capital of the US-- but beware, criminals might want your art, too! We have the state's highest crime rate.

The Baker Act is a Florida Statute. How do you plan to use it outside our state borders?

What do you consider an excessive profit? What about the $10 billion spent on a drug that never made it to market? Charity?

Many people in this country vote across party lines, probably because they are fair. Seems that a lot of politicos do not understand and just slam everyone because of their party registration.

Who do you think owns the big corporations? All of us do, assuming you have any type of investment plan

Dear America: Tired of winning so bigly yet?

Leadership isn't optional.

In inclement weather paper winds up in middle of wet lawn. In nice weather paper winds up in middle of driveway. I have a box along side of curb, however, delivery person ignores it. Comes Christmas I shall ignore that person.

TCC president Jim Murdaugh should've considered the Republican agenda to defund education before he okayed the college spending 500K to renovate a building for a Starbucks, before he okayed an oyster program that benefits lawyers, developers and Wakulla county commissioners, before he okayed paying high level administrators extra money to teach classes, before he okayed starting a truck driving school. Now he is bemoaning the reduction in services to students who are going to his college to get an academic education--which was the college's original mission. Priorities, sir.

Whether born that way or chose that way, that's way too much print space wasted on an insignificant subject.

The US must stop sending money to Israel. Who authorizes this waste? Let them deal with their own money problems.

A good day in American politics is when President Trump's voice and thumbs are quiet.

Thank you Corley Clark, for giving FSU's next opponent the clue on how to beat the Seminoles.

I raise my glass in support of your toast to respectful grocery shoppers. Unfortunately, you and I may be the only ones at the party. We live in a city that lacks common courtesy.

How about a law that states that every time a charter school steals from the public, the legislature has to put that amount more into public schools. Schools will be fully funded in no time.

Guess he won't answer any back page ad's anymore.

By the way, Becton. Having charisma means people are drawn to you in a positive, likable way, not turned off by your rhetoric.

I didn't understand it at the time, but now I see the fact finding trip to crime riddled Chicago to study what they were doing about crime a couple years ago is now paying off as our crime rate is increasing just like theirs.

Fixing the Crime Rate in Tallahassee means working with the very young to prove to them that their parents and older siblings are wrong.

Kathleen Parker is suddenly singing kumbaya after months of vitriolic columns bashing Trump and his administration. The guy who shot up the baseball field was not immune to the nasty rhetoric around him.

Robinson is the new Sharpton.

Democrat politicians cursing and being nasty on the House and Senate floor vulgarity, rudeness and name calling is the norm.

If you listen to the Democrat pundants and politicians, you would think that if they are telling the truth, you must be vulgar, rude, intolerant and nasty.

The states of Maryland, New York and Vermont all prohibit fracking by state law!

Hemp Research ? I have an idea, make rope out of it!!

Research Hemp? Use it like our families did 75 years ago. Let the open market decide it's uses. Research the brain of those breaking into the commissioners car!

Talk about birth defects: Republicans have no heart; Democrats have no spine.

Did anybody think the college World Series would end any differently for FSU.

0 for 16 at Omaha "The Lord of no Rings" continues to add to the all time college coaching record.

Hillary Clinton still has her top secret clearence when she is no longer in office? Really? Amazing!

Typical Mike Martin. Zirzow helped them get to the College World Series and doesn't get a chance to pitch there? I've heard for many years that no matter how good you are, If Martin doesn't like you, you don't get to play.That is why he needs to be GONE. The team's record is more important than his record.

When it positively, absolutely has to get done, the 'Noles can't.

If this is going to be an "arty" weekend, I think I'll go to Mississippi where citizens are free to play casino games. .

If you think one measly raise in 10 years doesn't warrant a complaint, then go swap jobs.

"Don't Be Cruel" Thank You. Thank You Very Much.

Andrew Gillum is fake news.

That .50 percent state pay raise will clearly cover the cost of the lost health benefits, the loss of a cola in my pension when I retire and the 3 percent retirement contribution taken from my pay since last raise. Do I live in a great state or what ?

Trump: More corrupt than Nixon, less competent than Bush.

Donnie: have you talked to your buddy Vlad about not screwing with our elections yet?

Before government takes money in taxes to redistribute as stimulus, everyone does realize the money was already in the economy before it was taken. Right?

If a crazy guy shooting up a Black church can justify banning Confederate symbols, can a crazy guy who shoots up a GOP baseball practice justify banning the Democrat Party?

As long as the Dems remain the party of no, they will remain the party of not.

"House Democrats are continuing to block testimony from about a dozen witnesses who sought to appear before the intelligence oversight panel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election."

And Handel wins handily.

If Russia helped to get Trump elected, I say, "congratulations Comrade"!!!

Isn't it funny that, to the national news media, a special election is a referendum on President Trump until the Democrat loses?

If my wife needs to look at puppy pictures to be more happily married, I'm asking her for a divorce.

And the Georgia bellwether election shows the lack of understanding the Democrat pundits and media have of the American voter. Trump is POTUS.
